Orlando Trip: Day One

sea world

What a fun week we had!!! We got up early on Wednesday and headed to Orlando. The kids did great; the only glitch was that the fuse kept blowing which controlled the DVD players so a little extra child entertainment was needed. Nana was gracious enough to read books to the kids (because I can't read in the car). Their favorite was a scary book which she concluded by telling them about her haunted house experience (where she knocked Brittany down to get out of the house!). They thought it was hilarious! But we finally made it around 11:00. We drove straight to Sea World. The weather was gorgeous and the park was crowded. It was fun watching the dolphins and touching the stingrays.

We didn't get to ride many rides because the lines were so long, but Nana rode on one roller coaster with Austin and that seemed to be enough to suffice him.

We did get to make a few shows. We saw Alure' Call of the Ocean. It was a really cool show where there was lots of tumbling and acrobatics...so much to watch at once.

Before the show started, it got dark and Madi kept asking, "Scary?"

I told her that it wasn't a scary show...but she wasn't convinced.

Again she asked, "Scary? I fall and get a boo-boo."

"Madi, why would you get a boo-boo if it was scary?"

Madi replied, pointing at Nana, "She push me down!" (from the story earlier in the car).

It was hilarious! She also decided that D should now be called Glenn and basically called him that the whole day (luckily, she's moved on from that!)

Austin loved the Shamu Believe show. He and D sat in the splash zone while the rest of us went higher to stay dry. We left the park around 8:30 to head to the hotel where we met up with Kiera, David, and Tyler. What a fun day full of fun memories!!
